KGySoft.Drawing 5.3.0

KGy SOFT Drawing Libraries offer advanced features built around System.Drawing types.

Among others:
- Fast direct native Bitmap data access for every PixelFormat
- Creating managed bitmap data of any PixelFormat on every platform, including Linux and MacOS
- Quantizing and dithering
- Several built-in icons as well as simple access to Windows associated and stock icons.
- Extracting bitmaps from multi-frame bitmaps and icons.
- Creating combined icons and multi-resolution bitmaps.
- Saving metafiles in EMF/WMF formats.
- Advanced support for saving images as Icon, BMP, JPEG, PNG, GIF and TIFF formats.
- Converting between various pixel formats preserving transparency if possible.
- Useful extensions for the Icon, Bitmap, Image, Metafile and Graphics types.

Documentation

KGy SOFT Drawing Libraries offer advanced drawing features both for completely managed bitmap data as well as native System.Drawing types on multiple platforms.

Among others:

Fast direct native Bitmap data access for every PixelFormat
Creating managed bitmap data of any PixelFormat on every platform, including Linux and MacOS
Quantizing using predefined or optimized colors
Dithering using ordered, error diffusion, random noise or interleaved gradient noise dithering techniques
Several built-in icons as well as simple access to Windows associated and stock icons.
Extracting bitmaps from multi-frame bitmaps and icons.
Creating combined icons and multi-resolution bitmaps.
Saving metafiles in EMF/WMF formats.
Advanced support for saving images as Icon, BMP, JPEG, PNG, GIF and TIFF formats.
Converting between various pixel formats preserving transparency if possible.
Useful extensions for the Icon, Bitmap, Image, Metafile and Graphics types.

See the online help for the complete documentation or the project site for some highlighted code examples.

See also the KGySoft.Drawing.Tools repository, which contains debugger visualizers built on the KGy SOFT Drawing Libraries as well as a test project, which demonstrates its features.
